Note: The following is just my perspective on how to create effective plot twists while successfully employing any red herrings since I am open minded and I would love to learn your views. I am ultimately an Avant-Garde artist (I mean, have you read my book? 😉). I don't believe that every good story follows typical structures after all.

Do you feel lonely in a cheerful group even if it consists of your friends or family, particularly since you want to engage in conversations yet it is difficult for you to do so? Perhaps that doesn't apply to you but someone whom you know. Either way, may my advice touch your heart and the souls of all you know.
Before I delve into helpful techniques, I must affirm that you are an amazing soul who is worthy of affection and if anyone believes otherwise then they are just blind to your magnificence. Keep in mind that those who truly care about you rightfully adore you just as much as those with whom conversation seems to smoothly flow. Dear soul, if it turns out that you haven't had the privilege of finding each other, strive on because oh you will. Now here is my guidance on how to more easily engage in conversation... 💡Attentively listen to those in your group. Let whoever is speaking know that you value them by looking directly at them. Also, be brave enough to look directly into their eyes from time-to-time. Please don't stare into their eyes though, unless you get an affirmation to do so; otherwise you may seem intimidating. 💡Even if there are many interruptions within the group conversation don't embarrass those who butt in. Just attentively listen to the interrupters and wait until they finish their pre-mature side stories. Make an attempt to speak to them privately afterwards (don't worry, coversations are generally easier when there are less people), and encourage them to wait their turn to talk next time. After all, though it may be rude to interrupt, people may interject because they fear that they may not be heard. Besides, interruptions may not be seen as rude but as subconsciously taking up the torch that the original speaker is willing to pass on. It all depends on the type of conversation, the environment which it takes place in, and the group dynamic. Either way, when a break arrives in the group conversation, turn to the initiator of each conversation and say something as simple as "what were you saying?" This will allow everyone amongst you to make their voice heard. 💡Give truthful and brief affirmations to whoever is leading the conversation at the time such as "Wow, that's amazing", "I'm so happy for you", or "I've never gone through that but my heart breaks for you". ★★However, don't encourage anyone if they're glorifying a bad life decision (such as an addiction). In a private conversation and in a loving manner, persuade them to change that aspect of their life and provide support if you are able. Emphasize that you love them no matter what and attentively listen to them. If they directly endanger the lives of others or themselves then immediately get help for others' sake as much as theirs.★★ 💡Ask simple questions, when appropriate, such as "What was the weather like when you...?", "How was your experience compared to...?", and "Were you more nervous or excited when...?" Asking questions can let the lead speaker know that you are paying attention and it helps keep the conversation engaging for all. ⭐⭐⭐ - Written by C.A.

Dear fellow college students, I have a message for you if you are stressed about those pesky, villainous final exams: Strive not to worry about those tests which you have completed or the ones which lay ahead. Here are some important things to remember:
1) Hey, I'd love to break it to you so here you go: You may do better than you expect. At least some of you will be able to confirm this from past experiences. 2) Think of your finals as games. Your classmates are contestants whom aren't competing against you but alongside you and your professors are your cheerleaders. Your teachers wish for you to win and all you have to do is your personal best in these games, that is all. The great thing about these tournaments of diversion is that everyone can win. 3) You know that saying of "pretend everyone is only wearing underwear?" Well, that never worked for me, even with public speaking. So don't do that unless you want to randomly burst out in nervous laughter during your exams! Yet on a serious note, can you imagine if everyone actually showed up in only their underwear on exam day and went about acting normally; as if they were oblivious to their situation and only you realized that they forgot the rest of their clothes at home? 4) SPOILER ALERT: Even if you find out with certainty that you didn't do well on your exams, it's going to be okay. Your previous work in those classes may balance it out. If not, then it's still going to be all right. Failing your finals is the worst case scenario and not the most likely. Yes, you may have to retake your classes in that scenario but it does not mean it's the end of the world (flunking your exams won't bring about planetwide catastrophe), nor is your desired career going to become restless and bid adieu! If you're worried because you're maintaining a scholarship, and if you lose that scholarship then you will be able to engage with another one or gain a loan as you get up, brush yourself off, and continue on towards your path of triumph. You are going to be okay. As the kids at heart say: You got this! |
